Gigi Hadid's Latest Knee-High-Boot Look Will Have You Ditching UGGs

Step up your winter footwear game in fashionable knee-high boots.

Back in the day, cold weather called for snow boots...end of story. But adulting calls for more style. Uggs are having a moment, but let's be real: They're still rather polarizing. And some fashionistas refuse to try to make "Uggs" happen, especially when out and about, let alone at happy hour.

Gigi Hadid offered an elevated alternative earlier this month when she paid a visit to her "Guest in Residence" pop-up in New York. The model-turned-creative-director looked super chic in a leather trench, printed blouse and black ankle-length skirt. The skirt had a front slit, revealing a pair of brown leather knee-high boots with block heels.

It's not clear who Hadid was wearing, but the "what" has the Internet buzzing. Similar styles are selling out left and right. But we pulled ourselves up by our bootstraps and scoured the stores for 10 similar styles. Some have block heels, others have stilettos for more daring types and all are completely worthy of your winter wardrobe's rotation.
